Shopper's Delight: New Boutiques Popping Up Around Town

With the holiday season approaching faster than we'd like to admit, once empty storefronts are quickly filling up, and might we say, looking better than ever. In fact, there's so much happening as of late that it's been hard (even for us!) to keep track, so we decided to do a quick recap of the new and notable shops about town:

John Fluevog, 253 Grant Ave.: Exactly 13 years after opening his Haight St. location, the John Fluevog moves into an amazing four-story space in Union Square, where the first floor will be dedicated to his signature quirky shoes and accessories and the top three floors used as a gallery space.

Brief Space, 101 4th St., 2nd Fl.: Stop by the 2nd floor of the Metreon Saturday for the grand opening of this temporary boutique/gallery/performance space. The shop is set to sell original clothing, shoes, mix CDs and more.
